01 Step

Recipe View In a large, deep skillet, crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until evenly browned. (Approximately 8-10 minutes). Drain off most of the grease, leaving a thin layer to coat the pan. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent. (Approximately 3-5 minutes).

Recipe View Pour 4 cups of milk into the skillet, stirring to deglaze the bottom and lift any browned bits. Incorporate the chicken bouillon granules, butter, sage, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (Approximately 5 minutes).

03 Step

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk the flour into the remaining 1 cup of cold milk until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. Slowly pour the flour mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent clumping. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for a few minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. (Approximately 3-5 minutes). If the gravy becomes too thick, thin it with a splash of milk. If it's too thin, continue to simmer, allowing excess moisture to evaporate, or whisk in a small amount of additional flour slurry (1 tablespoon flour mixed with 2 tablespoons cold milk). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving hot.

For a richer flavor, try browning the ground beef in bacon grease instead of oil.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. A pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika can add depth.
Serve over freshly baked biscuits, creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or crispy fried potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
For a smoother gravy, consider using an immersion blender to blend the gravy at the end of cooking. Be careful not to over blend.

    I used almond milk and it worked great for a dairy-free version.
